Disease-resistant cauliflower created through nuclear science
International Atomic Energy Agency researchers have helped scientists on the Indian Ocean island nation of Mauritius to develop a variety of cauliflower that is resistant to black rot disease. The cauliflower was developed through innovative radiation-induced plant-breeding techniques employed by the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture.

Excess heat evolution was measured on nickel, gold, silver, and tin in aqueous K2CO3, Na2CO3, Na2SO4, and Li2SO4 solutions under galvanostatic electrolysis conditions. Steady evolution of excess heat in various electrode-electrolyte systems, but not in Ni/Na2CO3, Ni/Na2SO4, and Ni/Li2SO4, was observed for at least several days of observation. The largest excess heat observed was 907 mW on tin in K2SO4.
